Nature Spots in Imizu / Tonami Area

Area

  • Toyama Bay
    Travel / Tourism
    Toyama Prefecture
    "This bay is located in southern northern area of the Hokuriku region. The largest open sea-inner bay on the Sea of Japan, it is famous for the abundance of fish and its mirages. You can see the majestic landscape of the 3,000 meter-high Tateyama Mountain Range from the bay. Arisomi, one of the settings of ""Oku no Hosomichi"" (The Narrow Road to the Deep North), has been designated as one of Japan's most scenic spots. In addition, the submarine canyon called Aigame where the water suddenly becomes deep is the perfect home for fish. Various fish can be caught because of the warm and cold currents that flow into Toyama Bay, uniquely allowing you to get fresh tastes of firefly squid that flock around the coast while emitting a pale blue light, and translucent glass shrimp."

    This 15 kilometer-long ravine upstream of Komaki Dam is a 20-minute drive from Hokuriku Expressway's Tonami Interchange.

In the summer, the ravine is colored with fresh greenery. In the fall, it is draped in red leaves. In the winter, the ravine is carpeted with white snow. The area is visited by many tourists from Japan and around the world. A sightseeing boat that operates between Komaki Port and Omaki Port provides passengers with views of the bottom of the bright-red Nagasakibashi suspension bridge.

Toyama Areas

around-area-map

Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
